Go Belgium!
Meanwhile other Belgian politicians are calling for unconditional support of the Israeli government lmao
Belgium. Forever United in their division. The sooner is split between the Dutch and French the better.
Two-states solution for Belgium! 🇧🇪

their division
Thanks for your outside perspective. Luckily you can’t vote here, he.
Clearly my anti-Belgian humour is taken very seriously round hhere. The 2westerneuropean4u people would all agree with me and upvote this.
In truth I love Belgium and gained about 2kg in weight when I went to Bruges and ate their entire stock of chocolate causing a minor economic meltdown in the city. I’m very fond of the Dutch Belgians. The Flems? Flanders? The good-Belgians. The French ones not so much. Too similar to the actual French who no one likes. I don’t know how those poor Flems put up with them tbh. Can you imagine if the Welsh spoke French? I mean it’s bad enough they speak that impossible gibberish language of there’s but at least it’s not bloody onion-speech!
One of my favourite Youtubers is Belgian - Bitt3rSteel! If you like HOI4 you’ll love his vids. Strangely he’s got a slight Scottish accent when speaking English so I didn’t realise he was Belgian until he corrected me in comments!
That’s another thing Belgians are good at - languages!! Belgians seem to know about 5 fluently from birth!
Belgians prefer a hands off approach
It took me a while but boy that is a rough joke.
To add to the horror, I remember that the journalist that uncovered what happened in the Congo, started his inquiry because he noticed that the boats arriving in the Antwerp harbor were filled with rubber and all the boats leaving for Congo were filled with bullets. This was especially surprising because Belgian Africa started as a charitable endeavor funded with donations to ‘help civilize’ the continent.
Damn, this is a cold ass comment right here. Fuck me.
Seems like people are finally waking up to what’s happening.
It’s not Belgium that wants sanctions, it’s minister from a party that won 8% of votes on last elections. Belgium said nothing about sanctions, it’s her that’s calling up on the rest to make sanctions happen, which it will not. This is political games at play and Reuters should know better than to paddle that shit.
Cause who would know better about crimes against humanity?
Do it!
It’s a start, I guess. They still need a reckoning for the “Congo free state.” They still have statues to Leopold, for fucks sake.

@pleasemakesense Technical question about this post: Can someone please explain how a link from #LemmyWorld works when posted to #Mastodon?
When I click on the link, it shows this same post plus all of the same comments. I’m trying to understand how it works. thx
